Wigan Players to Refund Fans….
After THAT drubbing yesterday at the hands of Spurs, Wigan players areto payback fans who travelled to London.
A statement on the Wigan website today reads: “The club have announced that the players of Wigan Athletic have decided to personally refund every Latics fan who bought a ticket from the DW Stadium ticket office for the match against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
Club captain Mario Melchiot insisted that the team will be able to respond to the defeat, but said the fans “must not be taken for granted”.
The statement continues that Melchiot, “speaking on behalf of all the players” said: “We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters yesterday, and this is a gesture we have to make and pay them back for their tremendous loyalty.
“There is not a lot else to say, just that as a group of professionals we were embarrassed by the way we performed, we feel it was below our standards and this is something we feel we owe to the fans. Now we have to draw a line under the game, focus completely on training this week and bounce back on Saturday.
“We are professionals, we will take it on the chin and move on but it’s important that we do not take our supporters for granted.”
